DeLacy at his house, after the passage Of the
franchise, in 800, $500 and $1,000 bills"
He afterward understood that the money
was paid him under some arrangement
made with the Aldermen and he went 20

"I'm glad" the witness added,

WHATEVER the rest of the world may
think in regard to Shakespeare being the
author Of the plays attributed to him, the
actors seem to be unanimously Of the
opinion that he was. Lawrence Barrett
some time since expressed himself strongly
and sensibly on the subject and now
Madame Modjeska and Robson and Crane
have had their say. Modjeska thinks
that Bacon could never have written
Hamlet, Romeo and Jtaiet or any other
Of the S~hakesperean plays attributed to
him, because with all his genius he lacked
the poetic faculty. Advocates of the idea
that Sir Walter Raleigh was the real
author Of the plays are now s%pringing up
and the longer this discussion is main
tanned the better I]gnatius Donnellv will
like it for it assures a tremendous sale for
the book which he is about to publish on
the subject.

UTAH is the only territory in the Union
part of whose population Is opposed to
its elevation to statehood. Polygamy, of
course, is the bone Of contention. Under
federal rule the evil can be repressed,
hence the Gentiles wish the present rela-
tions with the central government main
tanned. Montana, Dakota, New Mexico
and Washington territories are differently
situated, however, and their just claims
for recognition will be vigorously pushed
before congress next winter. Wyoming,
as the youngest territory, is away down in
the list, but with the development Of re-
sources, which will practically begin with
the opening of next season, We will have
ere long the most legitimate reasons to
clamor for recognition with the rest of
them.

let that cold of yours run on. You think
it is a little thing. But it may run into
catarrh. Or into pneumonia. Or con-
sumption.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia is
dangerous. Consumption is death itself.
The breathing apparatus must be kept
healthy and clear of all Instructions and
offensive matter. Otherwise there is
trouble ahead.
All the diseases of these parts, head,
nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs,
can be delightfully."- and entirely cured by
the use of Boschee's German Syrup. If
you don't know this already, thousands
and thousands of people can tell you.
They have been cured by it, and know
how it is, themselves. Bottle only IS
cents. Ask any druggist.

IT Is chicken to-day and feathers to-
morrow. But a short time ago Gen.
Boulanger was the idol of all the least
conservative Frenchmen; now he is under
military arrest on charge of being impli-
Gated in a scheme which made the cross
of the Legion of Honor a thing of sale
without reference to personal merit. 1t
is possible that so far as Boulanger Is con
cerned the charge is trumped up by his
enemies to effect his disgrace. He is in
tensely popular with the mass Of French
people while the cool heads believe him
capable of a coup Tetat to crown his own
personal ambition. Unless Boulanger has
the right sort of stuff in him he will soon
be crowded out of sight.

The Boomerang records the fact that
Charles Parker, the individual who robbed
Major Bash, has pleaded guilty. He has
not yet been sentenced.
The above paragraph from yesterdays
issue OF the Sun will be of much interest
to the readers of THE LEADER. As a
matter of fact Parker pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to five years Imprisonment
on last Friday, all the circumstance be-
ing detailed at the time in this paper in a
column article. The news appears to be

Peculiar ties of the swordash.

When excited, Professor Goode says,
the s~wordfish's motions are most quick
and nervous. The fish are sometimes seen
to leap entirely out of the water. The
pointed head, the fins on the back and
abdomen simply fitting into grooves, the
absence of ventrals, the long, 1.-the, mus
cular body, sloping slowly to the tail, fit
it for the most rapid and forcible move
ment through the water. 1t strikes with
the accumulated force Of fifteen double
headed hammers. Its velocity is equal to
that of a swivel shot and is as dangerous
in its effects as a heavy artillery projec-
tile. Many very curious instances are on
record of the encounters of this fish with
other fishes, or of their attacks upon
ships. What can be the inducement for
it TO attack objects so much larger than
itself it is hard to surmise. 1t surely
seems as if a temporary insanity some
times takes possession of the fish. An old
swordfisherman told Mr.. Blackford that
his vessel had been struck twenty times.
There are, however, many instances of
entirely ~unprovoked assault on vessels at
sea,-New York Mail and Express.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

There has been a great deal said and
written lately concerning the designation
of papers in which land notices were to be
published and the prices charged for the
same. The appended letter from Land
Commissioner Sparks to Register Wilson,
of this city, puts a proper and emphatic
quietus on the matter:
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA, lSS7.-Hon.
Edgar s. Wilson, Register.-DEAR SIR:
| have yours of the 9Th instant with news
paper clippings in relation to advertise
ments. The rule is to publish in newspa-
per of general circulation nearest the land
geographically measured, and that all
papers in a city or town are of same near
ness. Within the rule you have the selec
ton of the paper. The last clause of cir
cular of April 81, 1885, is the ruling guide
or restriction as to fees. It's object is to
sional hawking" of these notices is not
regarded as conducive to the public inter
ests or the private rights of entrymen.

ton from this office that bears such con-
struction is q mistake. The instructions
contained in this letter will be observed
by you in all cases Very respectfully,
WIN. A. j. SPARKS,
Commissioner.
In the same connection the commits
sioner calls attention to the official circular
sent out to registers and receivers from
the land office which contains this clause;
For the protection of entrymen you
should see to it that newspaper charges
do mot exceed the rates established by
state or territorial laws for the publication
of legal notices: and report to this office
should any Infraction occur.
As the rate at present charged for
land notices is $40, and the charge for a
legal notice of the same size, published
the same number of times, is $l2, we can
discover no legitimate grouEdfor the tenn

We offer no apology for deyoting so much time

is too wretched to'merit the sympathy and best
services of the profession to which we belong
as many are innocent sufferers, and that
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is 10 less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who, by close ap-
feSsiOn. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
is dawning when the false phlisnthrophy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law. to die uncared
for, has passed away.

A Perishable Cargo.

Mr.. William Parsons, the lecturer,
was one day passenger on a big
sleigh away up in Michigan. On the
road they met another sleigh not nearly
so big as their own. The little sleigh
kind of kept to the middle of the drift
ed road, and the driver of the big
sleigh kind of turned clear out and
kind of turned his sleigh clear over
and plunged his six Or seven passen-
gers up to their necks or heels in the
chilly drifts, just as they happened to
be shot in head first or feet foremost
Loud was their wrath. They wanted
to mob their cowardly driver. "Why
didn't you make that little fellow turn
outP" "Why didn't you upset him ?"
"Why didn't you run over him 2" they
demanded. "Could have done it" said
the driver, cropping about in the snow
for stray valises, "but kind o. hated
to spoil his load" "What was he haul
ing?" demanded the lecturer. "Dyna-
mite, for the mines," said the driver.
They accepted his apology without q
division, and the work of excavating
